A cargo conveying system for conveying cargo items, in particular containers and/or pallets, in a cargo hold of an aircraft having at least one cargo conveying device, in particular roller conveyors. The cargo conveying device includes at least one frame, at least one roller drive unit having at least one roller for conveying the cargo items, at least one main line strand, in particular a partial cable harness, arranged on the frame, and at least one distributor module for connecting the at least one main line strand to at least one further main line strand. The distributor module is arranged on the frame and is connected to the roller drive unit via at least one secondary line strand.

A control device for a cargo loading system on a cargo deck of a cargo aircraft. The control device includes a plurality of selection switch elements each for selecting a loading configuration from a plurality of possible loading configurations, at least one first indicator device, comprising a display for outputting an at least partial depiction of the cargo deck, at least one second indicator device to be arranged (directly) on the cargo deck, in particular on system components of the cargo loading system, and a computing unit. The computing unit is configured to: a) determine a selected loading configuration based on signals from at least some of the selection switch elements; b) using the selected loading configuration, determine an identification region on the cargo deck and/or an identification selection of system components; and c) visualize the identification region and/or the identification selection using the first indicator device and the second indicator device (simultaneously).

A cargo hold of an aircraft having cladding elements and at least one housing element for accommodating electronic components and/or cables. The cladding elements are attached to supports, in particular structural elements, of the aircraft and have a plurality of cladding holes with predefined cladding hole spacings for attachment. The at least one housing element has at least one pair of housing holes for receiving fastening devices. The housing holes have a housing hole spacing which corresponds to at least one pair of cladding hole spacings.

A side guide for guiding and/or fastening pieces of cargo, in particular containers and/or pallets, in an aircraft. The side guide has at least one side guide device and at least one holding unit. The holding unit comprises a fastening frame extending in a longitudinal direction and at least one securing device arranged on the fastening frame, which has a plurality of recesses extending transversely to the longitudinal direction. The side guide device is insertable at different positions into at least one of the recesses and can be secured in the inserted state at the different positions by the securing device. The side guide device has at least one contact element, which, in the inserted state, can be engaged with at least one fixing element, displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the securing device.

A multiple hoist system is used with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for delivering parcels. An example of the multiple hoist system comprises two or more hoists that are independently operable, meaning that a first hoist can lower or raise a first line independently of using a second hoist to raise or lower a second line. The hoists can independently raise and lower their associated lines to allow the UAV to deliver multiple parcels to multiple delivery locations, or the hoists can synchronously raise and lower the associated lines together so that larger parcels can be delivered using the UAV. The hoists can be comprised within a body of the multiple hoist system. The body can further include a securing device for releasably securing the multiple hoist system to the UAV.

A locking device for securing cargo items in a cargo deck of an aircraft. The locking device includes a frame having at least two longitudinal members, at least two fastening claws each with a locking lug, and at least two guide rails. The fastening claws are movably mounted on carriage elements. Each guide rail can be fastened to a respective longitudinal member at different positions. The at least two carriage elements are displaceably mounted on the guide rails. At least one compression spring may be formed between the carriage elements, so that the two carriage elements are spring-mounted with respect to one another.
